SUMMARY
The Fourier transform of the function g(t) = f(3t) − f(4t + 7) can be determined using the shift and time scaling properties of the Fourier transform. The time scaling property states that if f(t) has a Fourier transform F(ω), then f(at) has a Fourier transform (1/|a|)F(ω/a). The shift property indicates that if f(t) has a Fourier transform F(ω), then f(t - t0) has a Fourier transform e^(-jωt0)F(ω). Applying these properties, the Fourier transform of g(t) can be expressed as a combination of the transforms of f(3t) and f(4t + 7).
